ncmpcpp display lags by a keystroke
I don't know how best to describe this problem, but the terminal display of ncmpcpp lags by a keystroke. So for example, when I'm in the list of artists, entry one will be highlighted, if I press down entry one will still be highlighted but if I know press enter I'll be shown the contents of entry two.
I'm running ncmcpp v0.5.10-5.
Anyone any ideas?

Re: ncmpcpp display lags by a keystroke
Have you tried a clean config file?

Re: ncmpcpp display lags by a keystroke
Sound like more of a terminfo related issue than ncmpcpp (which is working fine for me).
Any unusual behaviour in your other term programs? Are you exporting a TERM variable in your shell initialization files? What term are you running it in? etc...
One more thought: is the music database on a local filesystem, or mounted from somewhere else?

Re: ncmpcpp display lags by a keystroke
Re one more thought, my music is in ~/music which is a symlink to a folder on a second hardrive mounted on /mnt. i.e. ~/music -> /mnt/DATA2/music. If that makes a difference.
Haven't noticed any other issues, htop works fine for example. I'm using GNOME terminal 3.12.2 and using ZSH with oh-my-zsh. I don;t think I'm exporting a TERM variable, but I suppose oh-my-zsh might be. echo $TERM produces simply "xterm".

Re: ncmpcpp display lags by a keystroke
Try it without Oh-my-shitzsh and see if that makes a difference. The symlink thing should be fine if it is configured correctly.

Re: ncmpcpp display lags by a keystroke
I just don't know, opened a terminal, typed bash, typed ncmpcpp, everything worked, then opened a terminal again so I'm in ZSH, and everything worked correctly in ncmpcpp.

Re: ncmpcpp display lags by a keystroke
I'm having similar problems - random laggy in ncmpcpp, usually when browsing a larger directory of artists. I'm also using zsh, with the grml config. and urxvt as my terminal - so it sounds like something zsh related might be the problem. Hard to tell though, since the problem is intermittent.
